Plot Synopsis
[andrew] Mozart's young son, Karl, longs to be taken from his boarding school to spend more time with his famous father. His wish is fulfilled when Wolfgang Amadeus takes him to a performance of The Magic Flute. This true father-son event gives Karl a chance to understand Mozart's extraordinary life as a traveling prodigy, his pressures from family and fame, his passion for composing and the common bonds they both share. In the end, the son realizes that he is well loved and that, although his father will die an early death just two months later, he will always have him by his side through his timeless music.
